jfacts U^reUmtnar^ 

For years we have been engaged in the manufacturing of Lacquers for metal goods, and our brands are 
now so well known that it is unnecessary to enumerate them here* Our Lacquers are the only ones which 
received awards at the Great Worlds Columbian Exposition* These prize winners, consisting of Lastina, 
Pyramide, Obelisk, Albaline and Gold Lacquers, will, upon the respective surfaces for which they are intended, 
produce a more perfect finish than can be obtained from the use of any other Lacquers now upon the market* 
This was so during the year of the World's Fair* Constant improvement, and the utmost care by our 
chemists and Lacquer experts, have perfected these goods to such a degree that we now claim them to be 
absolutely perfect. 

To a user of Lacquers, a careful examination of these pages will quickly disclose the special brand 
that he must use for his particular purpose, and whether this should be a dip or brush Lacquer will depend 
upon the nature of the article to be Lacquered. 

From an economic standpoint of view we can assure the metal trade that money is saved by their rapid 
drying qualities, by the ease with which they may be diluted with thinners, by the infinitesimally thin coating 
into which they spread and still do their work, and especially by reason of the very slight loss through evapora¬ 
tion, which is less by fully one-third than any Lacquer on the market. They neither peel, crack, split, nor do 
they show rainbow colors, nor do they turn green. 

We manufacture a very large number of grades not enumerated in our catalogue. These are made for 
special purposes and according to special formulas. Whenever any customer has any special work of which a 
new or different class of goods is required, our chemists always give to these their best attention. 


«« * * FACTS « « « * 

I* H Xacqucr for IFtiChCl, if best for nickel, ought not to be best for iron, copper, brass, silver or gold, because a 
good nickel Lacquer requires many properties which are unnecessary for a silver or gold Lacquer, and a good 
gold Lacquer requires many properties unnecessary for a good nickel Lacquer. This remark is applicable to 
every metal, for as a metal is affected to a greater or less degree by what is termed the discolorizing agents of 
the atmosphere, various properties are intermingled with such Lacquers. As an example, silver differs from 
gold in the fact that it is tarnished by sulphur and sulphur compounds, hence the necessity to provide for 
this specific requirement in the special properties of our silver Lacquers. 

2* H)o ItOt Condemn n X^flCQUCl* upon Jpirot Wrinl. Why? Because we have seen varieties of brass, 
differing but slightly in composition, behave quite differently when Lacquered. This is due, perhaps, to the 


8

5. 


6 . 


7. 


difference in the alloys of the metal, or owing to the fact that in one case the metal has been cast and in the 
other rolled or stamped. As a result, the metal will often take a different shade, although the Lacquer 
used is taken from the same tank. The trouble arises from a small trace of an impurity in the metal, or is 
due to the different proportion of the various constituents "present in the alloy. In such cases the remedy is 
simple. Try another grade of Lacquer. 


(Boob TKHorft cannot be ©one b? an ©rbinarp ©ipper or l£ver^ba? TKHorhman. 

A good Lacquerer is an artist; he possesses artistic taste, he must be skilled and learned in the art, he requires 
some idea of the nature and harmony of color and of the effect of light and repeated reflections, for it is well 
known that a chased or granulated surface will appear very brilliant in color, whilst a plain burnished surface 
made of the selfsame metal will appear lustreless, notwithstanding the fact that the same Lacquer is used. 
This difference in richness of color and effect the skilled Lacquerer knows is due to the repeated reflections at 
small angles of incidence, and consequently he adds a little color to the Lacquer which he uses upon the plain 
burnished surface. Therefore, 


Hit <3olb anb otber dolors, as well as with water white and transparent Lacquers, remember that anything 
which alters the evenness, or breaks the continuity of the surface of the metal, will not only modify the color, 
but impart different shades of color in different parts. 


©be ©bject of Xacqucnna Petals is not only to beautify the exterior by imparting to it additional 
lustre, brilliancy and richness, but also to protect the surface from-discoloration produced by the combined action 
of air, moisture and various gases. The best brand of Lacquer, and the best grade of the best brand, depends 
upon the particular use for which the object Lacquered is destined to be used. The best Lacquer for the inside 
of a Pullman car is not the best for the outside. The best Lacquer for a brass lamp is not the best for a polished 
steel surface. The best Lacquer for a gold plated clock will not answer for a silver plated tray. The best 
Lacquer for a door knob is not the best for use on tin, or for a bird cage, or a bedstead, or electrical goods, 
metallic furniture trimmings, stove ornaments, etc., etc. Hence our numerous brands and the grades under 
each. We think we can furnish what you need. Write us, give the particulars, and see. 


before pou IReject a Xacquer consider these facts, and in addition, do not forget that while an article 
may seem perfectly clean, spots invisible to the naked eye will be at once revealed as ugly stains after the 
metal is Lacquered. It is, therefore, not only absolutely essential that the surface should be perfectly clean, 
but it is also necessary that every part of the exterior surface of the metal should be in exactly the same 
physical condition, else a uniform tint and protecting film will not prevail all over. 


flfoetal ^finishes may be granular, fibrous or vitreous in structure, and these facts must be taken into considera¬ 
tion as well as whether the metal is cast, rolled or stamped, when a Lacquer is selected, for each physical 


9 





condition has a great influence in modifying the resulting finish. The smoother and more regular the con¬ 
tinuity of the surface, the easier it is to select a suitable Lacquer and vice versa. 

8. Jflasb TTests. Our Lacquers will show a higher average of flash tests than any other upon the market. Manu¬ 

facturers must not forget that the degree of test varies even with the same sample of Lacquer. This is due to 
evaporation, and whether or not the Lacquer has been reduced by the use of Thinner. Again, the tempera¬ 
ture of the Lacquer prior to the time the test is made may affect the test. 

9 . IRainfeow Colors. The colors of a soap bubble change as its film gradually alters in thickness. Iridescent colors 

increase as the film becomes thinner. Therefore, do not dilute your Lacquer with too much Thinner. A 
Lacquer which leaves iridescent colors upon the metal is a poor Lacquer, of insufficient body, and will not 
superimpose a satisfactory protecting film. 

10. IDarieqatefc Colors are frequently displayed by metals. These are not always caused by a too greatly diluted 

Lacquer. If a metal surface contains a number of fine lines very close together, the light reflected from 
the different portions may be in interference, and variegated colors may result. This occurs upon many 
striated surfaces. 

tu Colors. No color can be persistently viewed by the eye without another being observed. Colors are subjective. 

They do not express external facts. They depend upon the condition of the eye, as well as upon the colors 
by which they are outlined. Thus, when a color is placed on a gold ground, it should be outlined by a 
darker shade of its own color; a gold ornament on a colored ground should be outlined in black; an orna¬ 
ment falling on a ground which is in direct harmony with it, must be outlined with a lighter tint of its own 
color. Thus it is apparent that no color already prepared can answer any and every requirement of the 
Lacquerer. We therefore provide the necessary combinations to make any desired shade of color, vie: Gold, 
yellow and copper colors, all of which in combination with each other harmonize perfectly, and by which 
can be produced the rarest harmonies. 

12. Ifn Selecting Golorefc Hacquers, a good color is not always the best Lacquer, simply because it forms 
a suitable layer of color. The metallic character and the lustre peculiar to it must be preserved. Metals 
cannot be beautified unless the real nature of the metal is preserved. Our Lacquers, both colored and trans¬ 
parent, do not only preserve metals from the corrosive action of the atmosphere and the other agencies to 
which they are subjected, but they always add to the metallic character and real nature of the metal, becom¬ 
ing an actual part thereof, and it is truly marvellous to see the effects produced thereby, in the intensity of 
the reflection of the polished surface, and in the beauty of tone and the perfection of finish.

^Lacquering as an jjftt 

All Lacquers must possess the following common qualities, 

U QUICKNESS OF DRYING. 

2 . HARDNESS OF FILM OR COATING. 

3. TOUGHNESS OR ELASTICITY OF FILM. 

4. LACQUER MUST NOT DIMINISH GLOSS OF METAL. 

5. IT MUST INSURE PERMANENCE OF GLOSS OF FILM. 

6 . DURABILITY ON EXPOSURES TO VARIOUS CONDITIONS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. 

7. DURABILITY ON EXPOSURE TO WATER OR MOISTURE. 

8 . LACQUER MUST NOT PEEL, CRACK OR SHRINK. 

9. IT MUST BE SMOOTH, FREE FROM PIMPLES, AND MUST GIVE TO THE METAL SURFACE 

OR FINISH THE APPEARANCE OF BEING UNLACQUERED. 

10 . IT MUST NEVER SHOW DRIP, RAINBOW COLORS, TARNISH, TURN GREEN, ETC., ETC. 
tU THEY MUST NOT BE AFFECTED BY HUMIDITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE. 

12 . TRANSPARENT LACQUERS MUST NOT CHANGE THE NATURAL APPEARANCE OF 
THE METAL, BUT MUST ALWAYS ADD TO THE METALLIC CHARACTER AND 
REAL NATURE OF THE METAL. 


W HE LACQUER which is admirable for Dip work upon a gas chandelier, or upon a lamp, cannot be used 
when it is to be mixed with gold, green, blue or other colors. A Lacquer which is used for silver is not, as 
a rule, suitable for bronze, or one for iron cannot be used upon nickel $ neither will the Lacquer, admirable 
for building hardware, do for a cash register, or the brass fixtures in a Pullman or Wagner palace car. Upon the 
various exposures of temperature, weather, gases, etc., with which the Lacquered articles may come in contact, 
depends the nature of the Lacquer to be chosen, and as these vary and divide themselves into an almost numberless 
classification, the metal-worker and the practical Lacquerer must use the greatest precaution to select from the 
following Lacquers the kind and special grade most suited to his particular purpose. 


/Tare sboulb be taken in this selection not to attempt to use a brush Lacquer where 

- - — - a dip Lacquer is really best, nor a water white Lacquer or one 


absolutely destitute of color where a Lacquer with a yellow, gold or other cast is desired.

INHERE are curious legends illustrating the art of the 
J Lacquerer. These are gathered from the ancient 
literature, as well as the inscriptions in Egyptian, 
Phoenician, Greek, Cypriote and Latin, upon the alabaster, 
glass, bronzes, seal cylinders, engraved gems, coins, objects 
in gold and silver, ivory, bone, lead, iron and other 
substances. 

The earliest examples of the Lacquerer's art are nearly 
forty centuries old, since they are known to have existed 2000 B. C., although, incomparably, 
the best and most varied specimens extant may be said to have been made 700 B. C. 

But the Divine Architect has been using Lacquer since the 
foliage age began. Look at the bud of the delicate fur tree in 
Spring—each bud is thickly covered with a transparent Lacquer; 
or see the giant calalpa, whose bud resembles a small bullet, 
glistening with its Lacquer coating, which withstands both ice and 
snow and the penetrating sun. The secret of nature we know— 
but from the Egyptians we get the secret of duration. 











3&n?pt was the great meeting-point of the old 
races* To Egypt came all the artisans of Asia 
Minor, the dwellers upon the shores of the 
Western Mediterranean and those of Africa, 
and the regions farther East, and it is from 
the objects taken from the ruins of Egyptian 
tombs that the Lacquerer of to-day obtains his 
most useful lessons

©eneral Observations on 3L aC( 3 ue ri n $ 



Needle of “ Unsertsen,” 


the Lacquerer 


S a rule all our Lacquers, both dip and brush, can be brought to a 
r J(M\ perfect condition at the ordinary temperature of the atmosphere. 

Where, however, the Lacquerer is in haste, or fears that dust, or an 
imperfect film may be obtained through the inexperience of the workmen, it 
has been found that by placing the articles lacquered in an oven, with the 
temperature raised from 100 to 120 degrees F., there is less danger of obtaining 
an imperfect coating, and as a rule the film is more even and compact. It is the 
experience also that a slight coat gradually imparted to the article lacquered 
makes the film harder. Through the heat it adapts itself to all inequalities, 
and if the coating is a little thicker at one place than another, this inequality 
disappears and a glossy surface is more enhanced in the case of some metals. 
This process of drying and fusion secures a firm, compact adhesion or 
amalgamation of the Lacquer to the surface of the substance coated and 
increases the density of the coating and almost invariably enables it to resist 
wear and retain its gloss for a longer period of time. 

To the Lacquerer skilled in the art, this process of hardening and 
finishing lacquered work by the aid of heat becomes a matter of much nicety 
and is often marred by the slightest inequality. Thus it frequently happens 
that Lacquer is condemned by the inexperienced user, which after all is due, 
not to the Lacquer, but to the manner in which it is applied and finished. In 
practice this work requires a vast amount of care and much experience in 
order to always obtain the very best results.

great care was taken of the dead, who, after being mummied, were 
enclosed in an air-tight case of metallic hardness, which was gilded and 
Lacquered to imitate the deceased; this cartouche was then put in a 
wooden case, likewise covered with sheet gold and Lacquer; this 
Lacquered case was then placed inside another. 

In the Metropolitan Museum of New York a mummied Princess

it was gilded and Lacquered by the hands of the old Egyptians.

TJTEAVEN, to the old Egyptians, was attained on the fractional system. The perfect man’s spirit was divided into forty-two parts, cor- 
A responding to the forty-two parts of the human body, as divided by the physicians. One might attain heaven in sections—thus, thirty- 
two sections got in, while ten were utterly rejected; or forty got in and two were rejected. Rich men who could afford to be mummied with 
White Lacquer, and with which bodies were saturated, generally passed all the judges. Judgment was rendered in this way: During mum¬ 
mification, the forty-two demons, or judges of the dead, saw to it that the forty-two parts of the sacred dead, which had been previously 
saturated with the precious White Egyptian Lacquer, were kept at the proper heat to solidify—parts failing to solidify and form a chemical 
union with the "White Egyptian Lacquer were at once rejected by the judges of such parts.

GRADE A 

r ^HIS is our standard grade of Lacquer for Dip work, and it is recognized in the trade as one 
of the very best Lacquers for use on metal goods, owing to its unvarying qualities* It is 
^ destitute of color, clear, transparent, spreads readily with absolute smoothness, and leaves 
the goods covered with a beautiful enamel finish, which is as hard as the metal itself. This Lacquer 
runs off freely, and the drip disappears entirely while drying, if thinned to the proper consistency* 
Finger marks will not appear upon the surface, notwithstanding continuous and much handling.

GRADE BA 


W HIS LACQUER is often found to be adaptable where Grade A fails to give satisfaction. It 
differs from Grade A in that its adhesive qualities are better, and for that reason it can be 
used upon metals, which, owing to the construction of their surface, cannot always be 
absolutely cleaned from grease. It is harder than Grade A, and upon close grained metals like silver 
its use has been found to give excellent results. It is transparent, destitute of color, and spreads with 
ease, leaving a lustrous, hard, enamel finish. The fact that the goods have been Lacquered cannot 
be detected, owing to the intensity of the reflection of the polished surface, unless they are subjected 
to a very close inspection by one skilled in the art. This Lacquer will run off freely, and so far as 
other qualities not mentioned here are concerned, they are substantially the same as Grade A.

GRADE B 

HIS grade is specially prepared for Dip uses, and for the finest class of metal goods. The 
finish which it produces is one of exceptional beauty. The Lacquer is transparent and 
colorless, and 
also lustrous, and with¬ 
stands handling, per¬ 
spiration, acids, mois¬ 
ture, etc. 

It gives the hardest 
finish of all Dip Lac¬ 
quers of the colorless 
variety made, and has 
exceptionally fine ad¬ 
hesive qualities. It 

never shows drip, even when used without Thinner and upon metals with rough surfaces. The 
Lacquer can be used for inside and outside work, and in all conditions of atmospheres. 

'^tVCCttOttS—THIS LACQUER may be used with less thinner 
THAN ANY OF THE OTHER GRADES OF PYRAMIDE, BUT AS A

v|||) HIS grade requires a larger proportion of Thinner, only the 
finish is not as hard as that which results from the use of 
Grade B, or the other Pyramide Dip Lacquers. As to lustre and 
brilliancy, as well as the ability with which it takes up its drip, it is 
very much like Grade B. This is a cheaper grade of Lacquer than 
Grade B, and is used upon metals where the necessity for careful 
handling is not so great, and where the articles Lacquered do not 
come into contact with moisture, etc. It can be used upon the 
finest class of metal goods, and always gives satisfactory results. 


directions—With this Lacquer the proportion of Thinner must be greater 
than with Grade B. It will not give satisfactory results if a heavy 
enamel finish is sought for, by using the Lacquer with a 
small proportion of Thinner. The best results have 
been found by using the Lacquer in the proportion of one 
part of Thinner to one and one-half and two parts of 
Lacquer, although there are instances when equal pro¬ 
portions of Lacquer and Thinner can be used with satisfactory results.

Since tbe Untrotmction of the now celebrated Florentine Bronze, by Lafleur—about the year 1828—great 
strides have been made by the French and Germans in this art. Many new bronzes have been introduced, but the 
adaptation of the principles of metal coloring by the use of bronze powders, diluted and mixed with Egyptian 
Bronze Medium, is the most recent and the easiest mode of treatment devised by the art bronzer. The beauty of 
tone and perfection of finish which can be produced by a skilled worker with this Bronze Medium has never been 
surpassed, for effects can be produced by bronzing on a metal, which is peculiarly its own, and which cannot be 
obtained by any other process so as to give the same satisfaction, or to have anything near the same appearance.

CONCENTRATED SOLUTIONS 


^lir^HE SUITABLE COLORING of a metal is not a matter 
Y| 7 °f subordinate importance, but of the greatest signifi- 
cance, if we are to get from it the utmost beauty it is 
capable of yielding. A colored Lacquer must be of a material 
which will always assert the peculiar metallic character of the 
article Lacquered, and while the 44 noble ” metals—gold, platinum 
and silver—will always retain their distinct metallic characteristics, 
a good colored Lacquer should always so render the appearance of 
what are termed the 44 base ” metals that a beholder will without 
hesitation judge them to be 44 noble ” metals. 

By far the greater proportion of all the metals in the market 
upon which colored Lacquers are used are copper alloys—mixed 
metals—or what is usually known as Brass. 

Commercial brass never consists entirely of copper and zinc, 
since whatever impurities exist in the separate metals will also be 
found in the alloy, the most common of these being lead, iron, 
arsenic and tin. It often happens that some of these are purposely 
added to produce a certain effect—as lead, for example, in cast 
brass. The color of brass shows great variations, according to 
the proportions of the constituents of which it is composed. Hence, 
it must be perfectly obvious that the color of the Lacquer (the par¬ 
ticular tint or shade) employed is no criterion whatever as to the 
color which the metal immersed therein will receive; and hence 
the necessity that every Lacquerer should mix his own colors, and 

thus obtain the special color desired for each specific requirement.

45 















Again, the physical conditions of a metal should regulate the selection of a color, for our gold colored Lacquer 
for use upon brass goods cannot he employed with satisfactory results upon tin which has been copper-plated, 
for it is well known that tin has a greater discolorizing action than brass. And in this connection we may add, 
that while the natural physical condition of metal, in most cases, may appear to be 
crystalline or semi-crystalline, still these structures may be so altered by mechanical 
treatment as to confer on the metal new properties. Then the metal may become 
granular, fibrous or vitreous in structure, and when this alteration extends to the 
fundamental parts or molecules, the metal may be so changed as to act like an en¬ 
tirely different body upon the colored Lacquer employed in protecting its surface. 
Thus, cast zinc, silver, gold and nickel have their crystalline condition destroyed by 
rolling, while tin, lead and brass, although altered, are not so greatly affected. The 
stamping of metals also changes their natural physical conditions, and here again 
is a cause which has led to the introduction and acceptance of concentrated colors 
and the mixing or blending of each particular tint needed by the Lacquerer himself. 

Our colors, consisting of an endless variety, will mix with any of our Lacquers. 
They are rich and concentrated and yield, when mixed with Transparent 
Lacquer, a much larger proportion of Colored Lacquer at less cost than the ordinary 
Colored Lacquers sold ready for use. It is not only the profuse spreading capacity 
of our colors which has rendered them so popular, but also their peculiar lasting 
and non-fading qualities. 

Colors are generally used in connection with BRUSH LACQUERS owing to 
the fact that

and do not completely take up their drip in drying. 

The directions and application are the same as for our Transparent Lacquers, 
with the exception that slightly more care should be exercised to prevent too much Lacquer remaining on the 
article, which, when it collects in crevices, is apt to assume a darker tint. When heat is used for drying, the 
temperature should not exceed 110 degrees F. An excess of heat has a detrimental effect upon the colors.

No. 10, which, when used In conjunction with the Lastlna Lacquer No. 10, 
or Obelisk No.3, makes THE FINEST GOLD LACQUER IN EXISTENCE. 
Its continued use for a number of years by manufacturers of chandeliers, lamps and art

plate, and will stand exposure to light better than any other Gold Lacquer, and Is 
accepted by the leading manufacturers as the STANDARD GOLD COLOR, and Is also the 
BEST BASE for 

OUR CELEBRATED GOLD LACQUER 

The proportions for making this Gold Lacquer, In order that a rich gold color and 
finish may be produced on brass, are one part of Gold Color to from six to ten parts of 
Brush Lacquer, and the shade may be altered according to the various amount of Gold 
Color used. Experience has demonstrated that It Is best to furnish the Gold Color and 
the Transparent Brush Lacquers separately, since It enables the operator to obtain vari¬ 
ous shades of gold by using different quantities of color to the diluted Lacquer. 

FOR YELLOW GOLD-ADD YELLOW COLOR No. 5 TO GOLD COLOR No.10. 
FOR RED GOLD-ADD COPPER COLOR No.12 TO GOLD COLOR No. 10. 

Apply the Gold Lacquer resulting from the above mixture In the same manner 
used In the application of ordinary Brush Lacquer, but care should^be taken not to get 
too much Lacquer on the metal so as to show runs, or allow the colors to appear In 
crevices or corners. The Gold Lacquer is to be applied cold, and will dry readily with 
or without heat. If dried with heat, not more than 120 degrees F. should be used, and 
then only for a short time.

THE CHOICEST GOLD COLOR FOR ART METAL GOODS 


THE GOLD COLOR OF THE CENTURY 

W HIS color is as rich in tone as 18-karat gold, 
but much more brilliant. In the manufacture 
of this gold color our first aim is always to have 
it of the same high quality, with an absolutely reliable 
color which never fades, and this standard of excellence 
will always be maintained. In appearance its shade 
is not quite as red as that of Gold Color No. 10. 

This color gives to the metal the glossy, beautiful 
and natural appearance of original gold. It has, indeed, 
the semblance of genuine gold, and the roughest tests to 
light and use have left the color and finish absolutely 
unharmed. Many imitations have been made. There 
are a number of substitutes offered upon the open 
market, but none equal or compare with EGYPTIAN 
GOLD COLOR No. 14, recognized as the only stan¬ 
dard color approaching in similitude the original color 
of gold. 

A REMARKABLE AND DISTINCTIVE FEATURE 

of this Gold Color is that it is NOT AFFECTED BY HEAT, 
and the metal will not become dark in color when it is heated. 

Gold Color No. \4 is to be used in conjunction with Obelisk 
Lacquer No. 2, in the proportion of one part of Gold Color to 
from four to six parts of Obelisk No, 2. It is applied with a 
brush, and dried at a high temperature—say about 180 degrees F.

“ THE TRUE TINT OF 88LD 

... LONG ATTEMPTED, BUT NEVER 

UNTIL NOW ACCOMPLISHED.” 

A GOLD LACQUER FOR BRASS 

W HIS Lacquer is especially prepared 
for Art Metal Work, and has 
created a steady demand for it¬ 
self with the bedstead and lamp trade. 

This grade is ready for use, and does 
not require mixing, testing or matching. 
The color is always the same, and is 
known to the trade as the Standard Rich 
Gold Lacquer. The color of this Lacquer 
does not fade, and its brilliancy is retained 
for a longer period of time than any other 
Gold Lacquer now upon the market. It 
is the result of a long series of experi¬ 
ments, and was placed upon the market 
only upon having been tested in every 
possible use for which such a color and 
Lacquer could be required. The hardness 
and uniformity of finish which this Lac¬ 
quer gives, together with its ability to 
retain its brilliancy, make it absolutely 
the best Rich Gold Lacquer upon the 
market. 

directions—It should be applied with a brush, 
and may be dried at a temperature of about 
110 degrees F. 

If it becomes necessary to reduce it, it should be 
thinned with AUROLINE THINNER.

^jljlr^HOSE of our patrons who have read the foregoing pages, beginning 
VHI y at page 44 to page 50, inclusive, will understand the nature of Colored 
4IL; Lacquers, and also their application* If you will remember that spots, 
differences and blurs in Colored Lacquers result from the application of too large 
a quantity of Lacquer to that particular portion of the finished surface, the 
operator will understand the reason why only Brush Lacquers can be used 
with advantage in conjunction with colors* A Colored Lacquer necessarily 
must always be a Brush Lacquer, if a good and satisfactory finish is desired. 

In using our concentrated colors, which we provide in liquid form, the par¬ 
ticular shade desired must be produced by mixing a proportional amount of the 
various colors with a suitable Brush Lacquer, such as Obelisk No. 2, Obelisk 
No. 3 and Lastina No. 10. 

In order that a rich Colored Lacquer may be obtained, the concentrated 
colors found on page 44 must be used, in different proportions, according to the 
particular application and tint required; thus, when using Copper Color No. 12, 
Yellow Color No. 5 and Orange Color No. 8 a larger proportion of color is re¬ 
quired than when using Purple Color No. 3 or Dark Blue No. 5. As a result, 
practical Lacquerers can readily learn, by one or two experiments, just how 
much color should be added to a certain quantity of Lacquer. The usual rule 
is that one part of color must be used to from six to twelve parts of Lacquer. 
This can again be varied by adding more or less Thinner. The Thinner to 
be used must always be the particular brand of Thinner furnished with the 
Brush Lacquer, which serves as a base. For this purpose we especially recom¬ 
mend Obelisk Lacquers Nos. 2 and 3 and Lastina Lacquer No. 10—other 
Brush Lacquers can be used, but the result will not be as satisfactory. 

' The lighter and brighter colors will give the exact finish required on brass 
only, while the darker shades, such as Dark Blue Color No. 5 and Purple Color 
No. 3, may be used upon any metal. The Colored Lacquers prepared in the 
above manner should be applied the same as a Brush Lacquer, care being taken 
that not too much Lacquer be taken up at one time by the brush, so as to avoid 
streaks and uneven finishes. Especial care should be taken upon rough and 
ornamental surfaces. Colored Lacquers should be applied cold, and may be 
dried with or without heat. If heat is applied, it should not exceed 110° F.

DIP LACQUERS 


'^’flif^HESE LACQUERS should be thinned 
y 1 7 sufficiently to run off freely, and to 
prevent drip, but care should be taken 
not to thin too much, as they will then show 
rainbow or iridescent colors on a polished sur¬ 
face. On a mat surface, Lacquers can be 
applied much thinner, as iridescent colors will 
rarely appear. 

Albaline and Pyramide, No. 1 , Grade A, 
will stand more Thinner than Grade B A, and 
Grade B A more than Grade B, but the latter 
will never show a drip whether applied with or 
without Thinner. All our Lacquers will dry 
without heat in half an hour or less, according 
to the temperature of the room. 

When dried in a steam-heated oven, not 
more than 100 to 110 degrees F. of heat should 
be used. 

The longer Dip Lacquers are allowed 
to dry, the smoother and better the ultimate 
finish of the work and the less drip will appear. 
Do not dip metal goods in Lacquer while they 
are extremely cold, as a re-action will take place 


52 















between the metal and Lacquer when dried with heat 
which will cause the Lacquer to peel. 

Goods to be Lacquered must be entirely and abso¬ 
lutely free from any trace of acid, dirt, grease or polish¬ 
ing rouge—Lacquer will adhere to metal only. 

When metal is cut down with buffing composition, 
the grease should be removed with a potash solution, 
and after being colored with rouge, the goods should 
be washed in benzine or soapsuds. 

If the softer kinds of metal, like highly polished 
bronze, etc., cannot be dried in sawdust without destroy¬ 
ing part of the lustre, the goods may be dipped directly 
from the water in some Pyramide Thinner No. J, and 
thence into the Lacquer without first drying. This is 
the most satisfactory process for fine bronze hardware, 
and will also save time. 


Never Use Zinc or Galvanized 
Iron for Lining Dipping Tanks 


SUCH TANKS WILL DECOMPOSE THE LACQUER, 
AND TURN IT TO A MILKY COLOR. THE CHEAP¬ 
EST AND MOST SERVICEABLE TANK IS MADE OF 
WOOD, AND LINED WITH A GOOD QUALITY OF 
TIN-PLATE OR BLOCK TIN S S S S S S S 
BRITANNIA METAL MAY ALSO BE USED, OR 
EARTHENWARE OR GLASS JARS S S S S S 
TANKS SHOULD BE CLEANED AS FREQUENTLY 
AS POSSIBLE, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE LACQUER

BRUSH 

LACQUERS 

S RUSH Lacquers cannot 
be thinned as much as 
Dip Lacquers, because 
by applying them with a brush 
the Lacquer is not flowed as freely 
on the metal as when dipped. 
The thinning will depend on the 
kind of brush, the manner in 
which it is used, whether handled 
lightly or heavily. 

A soft brush will allow more 
Lacquer to adhere to the metal 
than a stiff one, and for this 
reason an operator using a soft 
brush can use the Lacquer thinned 
more and not have rainbow colors 
appear on polished work than an 
operator using a stiff brush. 



54 


Avoid the use of camel hair 
brushes: They are not adapted 
for our goods. For brushes we 
refer to page 58. 

Do not use more than 100 
or 110 degrees F. of heat in a 
drying oven. 

NEVER HEAT METAL 
GOODS 

BEFORE LACQUERING 


—all our Lacquers are to be 
applied cold, and will also dry 
without heat. 

Considerable skill is required 
in Lacquering well, and that skill 
can only be attained after a great 
deal of experience. The great 
secret of Lacquering for beginners 
is to take as little Lacquer as pos¬ 
sible at a time on the brush; have 
the article perfectly clean; a good 
brush with no loose hairs in it, 
and not over-heat the article.

W HE LACQUERER'S OVEN 
is usually a room or large box 
constructed of sheet metal, 
heated by stove, drums or flues, or by 
steam radiators of perfect construction, 
in order to avoid the escape of mois¬ 
ture, so that the temperature, which 
is indicated by a thermometer hung 
up inside, or if it is steam, passing 
through the side hole midway between 
the top and bottom of the chamber, 
can be readily regulated by dampers. 
The ovens are also provided with a 
chimney or vent hole to carry up the 
vapors arising from the drying Lac¬ 
quer. A small door through which 
the work can be entered and removed, 
and wire shelves and hooks for its 
support are in the chamber. 



THESE OVENS MUST BE KEPT 
PERFECTLY FREE FROM DUST,

S E SURE that all oil or grease is removed before laying on the Lacquers* Where articles 
are to be Lacquered with great nicety, hold the article with spring tongs, or with a taper 
stick in some of the holes, so as to avoid touching it with the fingers* Always handle the 
article with a piece of clean cloth* It is as well to fasten a small wire across the Lacquer cup from 
side to side, to scrape off any superfluous Lacquer from the brush, the ends of the hair of which 
should be all exactly even. If not so, trim the ends with sharp scissors. 

Scrape the brush as dry as possible on the wire, 
making a flat, smooth point at the same time. 

Use the very tip of the brush to Lacquer with, and have a steady hand to avoid slopping* Two 
coats, at least, should be applied. If the Lacquer be too thick, it will look gummy on the work; if 
too thin, it will show prismatic colors. In the first case, dilute with Thinner, shaking well and 
mixing; in the latter case, add Lacquer. A good deal of work and small articles are dipped. 


56 









Use a bath of Lacquer, dip the work by the piece, or if in quantity, in basket; hang it 
on to the wire for a moment, then remove and hang it in oven, or lay on a v/arm metal plate till 
dry; let it cool, and the work is done. Avoid handling Lacquered work until cold. 

The Lacquerer should see that the wire across the cup or jar containing the Lacquer is kept 
clean, to keep it from clogging. The brush should be held between the thumb and finger of the 
right hand, and the Lacquer should be applied by 

LIGHT, FEATHER STROKES 


Suitable holders should be made for round work, terminals, etc., whereby they can be twisted 
round between finger and thumb of the left hand. 

The brushes used should be flat, and trimmed on a board with a sharp knife to a thin, straight 
edge. A good brush is half the battle. If these get hard, press on a hot iron plate and then dip in 
Lacquer, when they will be in nice working order.
